It was way back in 2007, after visiting India speech therapy centre,jaipur for a number of times,my search of FLUENCY was going no where as my speech was not improving.

At that time, i decided to start a job only after getting considerable fluency in my speech, so i was frustrated that neither i am improving my speech as well as i am jobless too.My family as well as my friends, every one was upset with all this.

Anyways, one day, after discussing with one of my closest friend,i visited Stammering cure centre,banglore's website and called Mr.Partha bagchi.

His encouraging words that he can surely improve my speech reinforce my belief that he can improve my speech in his '14 days' crash course.

I just booked a train ticket under tatkal facility and reached his centre.

On the very 1st day, he brief me his techniques.Most of his techniques were known to me already, hence, my expectations started to seize.

With course of time, about 12 days passed there with very less improvement in my speech and my frustration was piling on.

Then on 13th day of the course, i myself developed a typical style of speaking where i was stopping whenever i tend to stammer and talk again from that word only.It worked really well.For the last 2 days of course there, i talked in that style and everyone including Mr.bagchi appreciated my improvement.

Now, after reading enough on internet and printed materials, i come to know that the technique that i developed at that time is CANCELLATION.I was not aware at that time that there is any such technique available to manage your stammer.

May be that my continuous work on my speech made me develop that SELF HELP technique for me.

So, my point here is that - it is not that any particular technique is going to help everyone equally.

Yes, I read somewhere that "technique" is nothing but doing whatever you do with consciousness, awareness.. and THAT is so difficult to teach, especially if the young pws is bent upon getting "cured" and would listen to nothing else....Thanks for sharing your great insights..

Dont get hyper in any situation2. Act like you already know everything 3. Usesum words at the starting of the line like "yes, no,hmm, ok, yea yea" bcz this gives u time to take afresh breath at the starting of conversation, andthere is 90% chances that you would notstammered (for stammerer its important to startconversation without stammering .) After you willget a rhythm. 3. in between conversation you getany thought that now "now i will stammer at thisword" that time pause ur self and start it again.4. most important think is that having faith in urself and god.

What is TISA

TISA is an association of Indian people who stammer (IPWS). Its purpose is to collect and disseminate relevant, correct and unbiased information for people who stammer and their families, friends and society in general. It is promoting a self help group movement, where PWS learn to help each other and themselves in the ancient Indian spirit: “This Self is to be achieved through self effort!”

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/IndianPWS/ is the chat group where we, the IPWS meet and discuss issues and plans, while this blog continues to be available as an archive. Personally identifiable information has therefore been suppressed wherever necessary or requested. Our intention is to reflect the diversity of this land and represent the Indian slant on the issues, opinions and perspectives related to stammering. Stammering and stuttering have been used in the same sense.
